WIND TURBINE EMULATOR DEVELOPMENT USING NI CRIO9068 AND ABB ACS 800 DRIVE

Abstract

The paper presents a Hardware in the Loop (HIL) emulator for a wind turbine system, developed for the testing in the microgrid laboratory of a PMSM generator and the associate power electronics and control. The emulator includes: a Labview real time model of the wind turbine,an induction machine drive with direct torque control (the wind turbine mechanical system equivalent) coupled with the real generator and the corresponding load. Experimental results are also presented to validate the wind turbine emulator
